Ladies 5'8 +

5'9 162.3 currently Would like to get to 148

I'm 5'10" and 198lbs and I would like be 165-170lbs. I want to lose 18 lbs before April 1st because I'm in a wedding.

I'm 5'8 with an athletic build and would like to get to 140 and stay there forever! I want to be solid muscle though and not "skinny fat". My biggest problem area is abdomen and thighs, but I cross train to try to hit all muscle groups. What kind of exercise do yall incorporate in your plan?

I'm 5'10 and my goal weight is 145. I'm currently 155 & holding

I'm 5'10 and my goal weight at the moment is about 140. My start weight was around 167 (didn't really have a scale then :ohwell: ) and current weight is 151. I'd love to add some of you guys if that's ok! It's good to see how someone of similar height and build is doing! Very motivating :flowerforyou:

Hi I'm new to MFP, and I would love if we could have a little group going where we can kinda support each other. I'm 5'8 and a half, and I currently weight 155. I would love to get down to a firm toned 140, which is where I spent most of my life until I had my second child, and couldn't seem to bounce back. Its frustrating how I can think its only 15 pounds I need to lose, it shouldn't take forever, ...and yet it seems I can never get there. I've been pretty much bouncing around between 150-160 for the last three years. I joined MFP because I just saw my sister in law last week and was amazed at how good she looked, she has lost over 30 pounds using MFP, she's been battling her weight for a while and it was so inspiring to see she has conquered it and succeeded, ...I want this to be the year that when summer comes I'm not depressed because once again I didn't lose the weight. My familly has been through alot healthwise in the last few years, and I really want to avoid as many problems as possible. I need accountability, and I would love if we could keep each updated and support each other so this can be all of our summers where we finally say, WE DID IT. I do not want to go through another summer thinking about how I did not lose the weight again.

I had a rockin day yesterday, anyone else? First time I managed to not go over my daily calories and I wasn't starving!!!! I think its really all in the shopping, have to plan ahead and be prepared! Tomorrow will be rough, going for a family dinner at a pizza restaurant and craving a panzarotti!!!!!

I am 5'8 and when I started MFP in April I was 177. I am currently 140 and have been maintaining for abou 4 months now. Maintaining tends to feel like you are still dieting, so I would love more motivation and support especially from people my height and build. It can be discouraging when you have lost almost 40 pounds and then hear others talk about how they weigh 125. At 140 I feel fit and tone and healthy but everyone has their pity days!

I'm 5'8", im 81kg and a bit fed up! I thought Id done SO well this week and I'v lost nothing I'm not sure where I want to be, just in a healthy BMI but I'm starting with a mini goal of 5kgs. But I'm starting 30 day shred this week so lets start with being fit and toned!

Very true mjames13. I am happy where I am and I still do toning and strength training. I feel like 140 is pretty healthy especially since most of us are on the taller side. Baby steps definitely work especially in the long run. I actually worked out harder and longer in the beginning and saw weight fall off pretty fast. Then the weight took longer and longer to get off.
